OUR CANDIDATES.

accord, presented the nomination Of may
or to our respected and energetic citizen,
Walter Cooper. Mr.. Cooper, who was
away when the nomination was made,
arrived home on Sunday morning and
informed the delegation which waited
upon him that it would be impossible for
him to accept the nomination, inasmuch
as he had already been granted the priv
ilege Of constructing water works, and
the fuliillment of that contract on his
part would interfere with his acceptance
of an office in which he would repre-
sent the city.

For alderman of the first ward. John
Tilton, one of our old time citizens, a
merchant who is about to place the finest
business building in Bozeman, in his
ward, is the unanimous nominee of his
party. All in that ward who wish to see
a liberal, progressive "city father" elected
to represent their interests. should see
that John Tilton's name appears upon
their ballots.

For alderman in the third ward, Hon.
Charles W. Hoffman was the unanimous
choice. Mr.. Hoffman, as everyone in
Bozeman is aware, is a business man of
broad, liberal views; one of the largest
property owners in his ward, and will
make an excellent councilman. The fact
that the Republicans have put up no OPP
position to him is an assurance of the
fact that his pre-eminent business quail
ties outweigh all partisan opposition.

In the fourth ward the Democrats
have chosen John B. Koch as their rep
resentative in the council. In so doing
they honored the younger men of the
party and placed in nomination clear
headed young man, deeply interested in
the welfare of the city, and one whose
voice and vote will be on the right side.
Mr.. Koch will make faithful and con-
scientious councilman.

Treasurer John Chrisman is gentle
man who has lived in Gallatin county
for over twenty years. Quiet and unos-
tentatious, he has lived retired life for
the last two years, and although known
and respected by large circle of near
friends, the majority of our citizens
know him merely by sight. Solely for this
reason was Mr.. Chrisman defeated Last
year. We earnestly trust that all will
make it their business to become ac-
quainted with Mr.. Chrisman, whom they
will find a high.minded, conscientious gen
tleman, who, from time to time. during
his younger days, was called to important
offices by admiring friends. He is COM

responsibility, and vote for John Chris
man will never be regretted.

fill the office well and faithfully. He has
large following of friends who will see
to it that he is elected. And in this con-

reasons certain parties are very busily en-
gagged in circulating reports that Mr.
Catlin is member of the Prohibition
party. The fact that Mr.. Catlin lias al,
